That won't be our problem.

If we trade him, then we will still pay a portion of the contract.

Thanks.

Explain Rule 5 now.

You said the contract wont be our problem next year.

I said yes it will, because we will either pay all of it for him to suck for us, or a portion of it to trade him in a salary dumping move.

So either you thought it was a one year deal, or you cant comprehend simple things.

I will let you be the judge.

Or I don't think...and never thought we <i>wouldn't</i> end up paying half his contract next year to be rid of him. It's built in and I'm already over it. It's a shit signing.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

But why wouldn't that be our problem next year if we're still paying him next year.

I dunno. Is Bradley our problem this year? I mean yes...he's costing us money but no...he's Seattle's problem now. Hendry's not smart enough to get replacement-level position players or relief pitchers to sign one year deals. It almost goes without saying that just because someone plays for the Cubs for a year, they're not just getting paid for a year.
